I used to think the Universe was like a sheet of paper. I often wondered what would happen if I could peel it back to see what’s underneath. I also used to think that I was figuring life out over time, silly me. I realized the more I expanded my consciousness, the more infinite my reality became.

I am learning to fall into this expansion, to allow life to flow naturally, to identify that the real prize is the journey. Today I look at our existence as a limitless field of unruly flowers - restless in spirit, beautifully imperfect. So I ask you, as I’ve often asked myself, “What indelible mark are you creating?”

As a lifelong entrepreneur and college lecturer, I noticed a lack of social consciousness, a lack of self-awareness and a purely material focus in the community. These qualities, ethics and values differed greatly with my own ethos and those of the most successful entrepreneurs I’ve come across in my long career. They embodied an acute clarity and connection of the greater world, deep empathy, and a natural inclination to help others succeed.

Through this observation, Zentrepreneurship was born in Santa Cruz, California; a way to create your own footsteps on the path of life.
